Exercise Today



Recommended Posts

Today I went to the gym and participated in a 55+ cardio aerobics class. I'm not 55 but the pace was just right. Yesterday I walked for the first time in months for 20 minutes. I start Monday with a new fitness trainer at the gym. I love to work out with a trainer, they are so motivating. I'm going to continue as I know working out is very important.

Sorry I have been absent. Just haven't been in the mood to post... no good reason.

It is an overcast morning here in Florida. The ocean looks like a lake. I went down for a swim and ended up doing 2 1/2 miles! Usually the waves and current make it a good swim, but you don't go far.

What a glorious way to start my day!

Our treadmill's not working, boo hoo. Fraser got onto it after football training Thursday night, wearing muddy shoes, I didnt realise. All the mud was dried onto his shoes and its all gone under the belt and through the workings. Grrr. So we have to have it fixed. The belt's sticking.

So its a big outside family walk today. And I'll go for a run outside for the next few days I guess.

I'm going to buy a barbell tomorrow, I have a DVD called Bella Strength which is like a Body Pump class, I"m going to start doing it. I think I'll do it for six weeks or so and in the meantime get me one or two more strength training DVD's and do them in six week rotations.

I really want to move it onto the next level.

Sounds like an excellent plan. Keep yourself busy and not bored with the same routine. That's how I do it to keep me excited.

Keep on keepin on Jac...

Exersise today: Went to my fathers house, he lives 1 block from the beach in Mississippi, right where Katrina hit. We have finished his house inside and out, he had 6 foot of Water inside. Today we cleaned his yard and landscaped, you would not believe how much debris was there from the water. Anyway, 4 hours of this and I lost 2#'s!!! I was so excited and made me feel good doing it and helping my father. To give you some idea of how bad it was he had a 27' boat wash up into his back yard. It was unbelievable. Might go to the gym tonight... MIGHT!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
